Alley Cats and Kittens adoptions, Southport (2024)

Say hello to John Diesel 🧡

What a handsome boy! Aged around 5-7, this stunning boy is seeking his forever home.

Here’s what his Fosterer has to say …

John Deisel is a super awesome gentle giant! Everyone adores him. He's a very special guy indeed. Hes so laid back and even snores when he sleeps! He will always be glad to sleep on your bed if you'll let him😊

He is so friendly and purrs so loudly when you stroke him. He really loves affection and strokes but keep away from his belly as he doesn't like that to be touched and he will let you know about it if you do. Other than that he is a total lovebug🥰❤️

Despite him being a laid back couch potato he does love to play and loves it when you roll balls and toys towards him! You'll be amazed at his sudden energy!

He is used to seeing many new people so he will be fine in most households. Not dog tested. He is cat tested - some he's ok with and others he's not keen on. It seems he doesn't mind the females and is often curious about them.

Children will be fine but if they touch his belly he will swipe at them and he has large powerful claws so we suggest older sensible children would be better to avoid any mishaps

Outdoor access is essential. He must be able to go out.

Good luck handsome boy 🧡

Beautiful Izzy 💗

Found under a garden chair with her three tiny babies, little Izzy has been a wonderful mum and is now ready for her next chapter with her forever family.

Here’s what her lovely Fosterer Claire has to say…

Izzy is aged around 2, she can occasionally hiss at you but has absolutely no malice in her.
She will need a quiet home and possibly no young children. She likes to sleep under the sofa but when she comes out, she LOVES a belly tickle. She has been such an amazing mum.
She is very very chatty and let's you know when it's food time!

She has just started to play with feather toys.
She's coming out of shell more and more, she just needs to build up trust with her new owner, they need to see past the hiss and just stroke her. We do envisage that once settled, her little hisses will stop and she will just embrace the cuddles.

Please message the page with your adoption enquiries.

Homecheck and adoption fee apply.

Forever home pending for you Izzy 💗

🖤Meet Mosquito 🖤

This little chap is 16 weeks of cuteness and ready for his new home.

He arrived here with some siblings and two female adults, all from the same household. Their initial fosterer said she had never seen cats and kittens so lethargic, sad and depressed so lord only knows what happened before they were brought to safety.

Their fosterers have worked their magic with their rehabilitation!

Mosquito is still a little shy of being stroked but is very playful. His new adopters will need to understand that he will take time to develop his trust to allow cuddles in the future. Mosquito really needs a family who have a playful cat as he spends his days playing with other cats. Another cat is key to building his confidence and teaching him that us humans aren’t so bad afterall.

So … if you already have a
cat who needs a playmate and you have the patience to wait for his trust in humans to return then please message our page.

Adoption fee and Homecheck apply.

Good luck cute boy 🖤

Come and meet Nyxi 💜

Nyxi is 8 years old and is one of our longest stay cats. She can be a little shy at first but is a lovely, gentle, playful and affectionate cat. We can’t understand why she has been so overlooked so we are offering the opportunity for potential adopters to go and meet her at her fosterers home in Chorley.
If you have been considering adopting a cat but would rather meet than committing to adopt based on a photo then please send us a message and we can arrange a visit for you.

We just had to try something different for this lovely lady as her age and “black & white” colouring are working against her 😢

Her full bio is on our page if you would like to read more.

Fingers crossed Nyxi 💜

13/07/2024

Everyone meet Butty 💜

ADOPTED

This adorable little female tabby cat is aged about 18 months and is now ready for her forever home.

Here’s what her lovely fosterer Janine has to say about her:

Butty is a lovely little timid girl who just wants to be loved. We are not sure what has happened to her in her past life but she is scared of quick moving hands! Once she has your trust she purrs away and rolls over with cute little noises of contentment. Butty would suit a quiet home with someone who can give her lots of love 💜

She has seen cats whilst in Fosterer and doesn’t seem too bothered so we think she would get along with other cats after sensible introductions.
Due to her being afraid of quick hands, we would suggest that she isn’t suitable for a home with children.

Homecheck and adoption fee apply.

Good luck sweetie 💜

🌸 Hello Peony 🌸

Having raised her babies on the streets this lovely lady is ready for a second chance at love.

Here’s what her Fosterer Susie had to say:
Peony is a such a special little girl. She is ultra sweet and very playful. A quirky little character indeed 💗💗💗Although shes always pleased to see you and will brush up on you with little chirpy purrs, she isn't keen on being molly coddled or picked up (you can pick her up for a few seconds or so) and she only likes gentle strokes. If you stroke her too firm she will let you know by giving you a bat and maybe a little bite but these are so gentle you hardly feel it. It's more just to let you know you've been a bit rough for her. As soon as shes told you off she's your friend again! Treat her gently and she's fine 😊

She would like a quiet home with someone who can understand her funny little ways and let her be herself. I've fostered her for over 6 weeks now and I absolutely love her. She's absolutely no trouble and always makes me smile every time I see her. She's so sweet with her teeny tiny face and her adorable little meow ❤️

Approx 3 years old
Neutered
Outdoor access would be preferred although she does seem happy enough indoors.
Preferably adults only but older quiet children only who will be gentle with her and respect her need for space will be accepted
No other pets at all.

Good luck lovely girl 💗

Hello Porridge 🖤

ADOPTED

This very sweet boy is now seeking his forever home.
Here’s what his wonderful Fosterer Carl had to say about him:

What can I say 😊
Porridge came to us with expectations he would take some time to settle and indeed if he could settle in an indoor environment at all.
Sat in his cage on the way, on the passenger seat he could not look more forlorn and didn’t even make a sound all the way home.
Gave him a few minutes to settle without opening the cage and even when it was opened he didn’t come out ! When he came out he went straight around the back of the sofa and I expected that’s where he would be for the foreseeable future. Went out for the day and on our return he’d been out and eaten some biscuits. That evening he popped out from behind the sofa and skulked past the armchair I was in and ate some more, on his way past on his return he brushed against my hand and the rest is history 😄
Loves a stroke, even accepts a brush, loves his food, great with his litter tray. He’s a chatty lad too 😄
He is amazingly chilled out and isn’t even making a fuss about wanting to go outside. He will sit on the sofa next to you and is starting to actually want to sit on your lap. He would be happy being stroked all day. He isn’t fazed by any aspects of life, hoovering etc and is great with visitors of any age, going straight to them. Starting to play with toys too 😊

Porridge is an ideal family cat and can be rehomed with sensible children. He has caught sight of other cats and doesn’t seem at all bothered.
The perfect boy it would seem .

FOSTERERS WE NEED YOU !

Sadly we are very limited to how many cats & kittens we can help as to how many fosters we have , at the moment we are turning away so many requests for help as we just have no room.

We don’t have a cattery or a centre we are purely home based , at the moment not many people are enquiring about adults which means we can’t bring in new adults until some have been adopted.

What do you need to be a foster ?
1) A spare room to dedicate to your foster cat or kittens
2)Your own pets MUST BE NEUTERED
3) Be able to take your fosters to vet appointments at our designated vet’s
4) Allow adopters to come and adopt from your home and be able to fill in adoption contracts
5) keep us updated on your fosters and if kittens weigh daily
6) be able to administer basic medication such as flea & worm treatments , antibiotics and eye ointment.
7) share photos and chat with new adopters

Why would you foster ?

Fostering is very rewarding but also emotional , sometimes upsetting , it requires dedication on a daily basis which means you can’t just disappear for the weekend , notice of holidays in advance is a must.
As all our fosters will tell you the rewards seeing a kitten or cat that have been , sick , abandoned , ill treated , relinquished into our care come on and get transformed and then move onto a new life and family is a very special feeling.

We give the best support to our fosters and have a “foster buddies “ group so that we can show each other the cats we have in and share experiences and experience, each foster is given a foster pack of things such as scales, microchip scanner , pill giver, p**p scooper, litter trays, litter , food , brushes etc

Are you reading this thinking Oooooo this sounds like something I’d love to do ?
Then please get in touch by messaging myself Susan Baxter or Karen House

Remember the more fosters we have the more cats we can safe and less people get turned away

Thank you ❤️🐈‍⬛

Hello Seaglass 🩵

ADOPTED

You may remember that Seaglass and her babies were found dumped in a dog crate at the side of a very busy road .

This very young and stunning little mummy cat is absolutely exhausted after raising her 6 babies, it’s now time for her to find some peace and quiet with a new family.

Here’s what her fab Fosterer had to say:

Sea Glass is soooo fed up of her babies, she is very affectionate, purrs, rubs up to you and enjoys sitting on the sofa with you (if those pesky babies 😹🐾don’t see her & come running). She loves gazing into your eyes while you stroke her😻.

Seaglass has seen the fosterers dog and two of her cats and didn’t react. Although she’s not come into direct contact with them, we feel she would be fine with other cats and a sensible dog, given gentle introductions.

Homecheck and adoption fee apply.

Please help find this lovely momma a place to call home 🩵

ADOPTION POST
Beautiful Coco came into us as a stray , she was already microchipped so we were able to get some background information.
Coco was relinquished at the age of just 11months old to a cat rescue in Blackpool , she was then rehomed via them in lovely condition to her new home, sadly this person decided that she no longer wanted her and instead of approaching the rescue to take her back she gave her away to a friend of a friend !
This person then by all accounts didn’t care for her properly and she ended up straying and was picked up very much in need of tlc and a flea treatment as she had flea allergic dermatitis, her fur was patchy and her skin crusty and flakey and she was thinner than she should have been.
We have been feeding her up and letting her new coat start to come through which it is doing but slowly.
Coco can’t be homed with dogs or cats , she is very much a girl who likes her own space , she loves human company and being around you and she’s very playful but she doesn’t like being picked up !
Coco could be an indoor cat but given time she could also be allowed outdoor access.
If you think this pretty girl would fit into your family then please contact
Alley Cats and Kittens adoptions

Having been through all this and due to celebrate her 4th birthday in July she truly deserves to be loved and cherished ❤️

🖤Meet Mawdesley

ADOPTED

We absolutely cannot believe it! His adoption has fallen through at the last minute for a SECOND time! Both times were nothing to do with Mawdesley, he’s the most perfect little boy. Please share and let’s find this lovely boy a perfect home 😢😢

Sadly due to a change in circumstances for his potential adopters, this little guy is back available for adoption. He’s just been neutered and is ready for immediate rehoming.

Mawdsley is a fluffy, friendly lad who's around four to five months old.
He was found hiding in some bushes, his owner was traced but didn’t want him back 😢

Here’s what his lovely Fosterer Karen has to say about him:

Whilst he loves to play, he's also very happy just chilling out. He responds best to people who are gentle in voice and touch.
Mawdsley has shown great interest in other cats. We think he would like a friend or two.
Mawdsley eats both wet and dried food though he loves wet the best. Mawdsley is 100% with using litter tray.

Please PM the page with enquiries.
Adoption fee and Homecheck apply.

Just look at that fluffy tail 😍

Meet the Beachcombers 💛

We are super busy, so before you message to make an enquiry please ensure that everyone in your home agrees to an adoption, you have written landlord consent in place and that you don’t have any holidays or building work that could hamper an adoption.

🖤Dilly Daisy🖤

ADOPTED

Dilly Daisy was an owned cat that Alley Cats sent for neuter. When she arrived, she was actually in labour and had had a kitten before arriving at vets that was never found 😞 the 3 remaining kittens were very premature and really poorly and sadly had to be put to sleep. The owner agreed to relinquish her into our care. With her previous owner she was made to live most of her time outside but she is very much a cat that loves being inside.

Here’s what her lovely Fosterer Steph says about her …
Dilly Daisy, is a small all black beauty with an equally stunning personality! She just wants to be near you all the time and will lie on your chest and in your arms.
Daisy is also playful, funny and has the sweetest little voice. She will need love and attention from her forever family and I would suggest access to the bedrooms as she loves to sleep with her person!
Although she has been an outside cat previously, this was when she was turned outside. She has not shown much interest in the outside even though she has a big window, so she could be an inside cat with access to an enclosed outdoor space.

Dog free home.
Could be rehomed with other cats given sensible introductions.
Is used to sensible children.
Homecheck and adoption fee apply.

After such an awful time, it’s time for this black beauty to find a home where she will be loved and cuddled.

Good luck gorgeous girl 🖤.

For the attention of anyone who has an un neutered & un chipped cat above the age of 5mths old , Shame On You !
This is the sorry sad life that they will end up in should they get out and believe me this happens ten fold every single day , have you ever lost an un neutered cat and never found it ? Well I hope you feel guilty as you are the
problem that we are trying to fix.
This is a feral group of male cats and a female has arrived and is constantly mated and r***d , who fault is it ? Do you blame the male cats that have been dreadfully let down ? NO NO NO
If is the fault of the people that let them down , no excuses , If you want a pet make sure you can afford to get them neutered , stop prioritising your holiday , your hair, your nails , your hobby , your meals out , your drinks out with friend , your takeaways and put your pets 1st Take responsibility
Stop blaming anyone but yourself
This picture is now in Preston and is repeated everywhere.

… and this is what happens when prospective adopters take a chance on considering an adult to adopt.

Today Mr Jezza met his forever family. I think the photo says it all, the love definitely ran three ways in this first meeting.

Thank you to Susie, his lovely Fosterer for loving and caring for him for the last few weeks - he will be a hard goodbye 😢 Bittersweet knowing he will live out the rest of his life with his amazing new family.

We have lots of adults all waiting patiently for their chance, many of them need a quiet, understanding home (unlike this ginger cuddle monster). If you would like to discuss how to adopt then please message our adoptions page 🧡

ALL OF THESE KITTENS ARE NOW RESERVED X

Just look at these babies 🧡🖤🧡🖤🧡

ALL NOW RESERVED

We are seeking very special homes for this incredible litter. Their mum was found dead and her kittens were all found nearby in a gutter freezing and starving. Handreared by our amazing Sue, these tiny ones are out of the woods and ready to be reserved.

As handrears these kittens have been bottlefed every two hours (yes, including overnight), carried around when they have needed extra warmth and had a watchful eye on them at all times as hand tears can quickly fail ans die. Due to all of this constant contact they are very imprinted on humans and as such need a lot of attention. They will need someone home most of the day and will need to be allowed to sleep with you at night.

Aniseed & Coconut are very bonded so must be rehomed together.

This adorable bunch still have a little way to go with us but we are now welcoming sensible enquiries.

As always, home check and adoption fee apply.

Ready, steady, go …
These kittens are now reserved

Hello Coraline 🖤

ADOPTED

At only 6 weeks old, someone bought this little kitten as a gift for her friend! Her friend didn’t want the commitment of a pet so sensibly contacted rescue to ensure she went to a good home.

Here’s what her two lovely fosterers, Monique & Sophie say about her…

Meet Coraline…

Coraline is a very confident and playful girl, the second she arrived at her foster home she was straight out of the cat basket rolling on her back for her belly to be tickled as she is very affectionate. When it is play time she is very full on🤣. She jumps quite fast and she will use her teeth. But if you pick her up whilst she's playing she flops. She will make a lovely cat ❤️

Coraline is still has a couple of weeks left with us but then will be ready for her new family. If you would like Coraline to come and be part of your family, please just send us a message.

Good luck tiny girl 🖤

Everyone meet Dolce 💚

ADOPTED

This beautiful tabby is a sweet handsome little man with gorgeous green eyes, he’s about 18 months to two years. Dolce was clearly someone’s cat at some point, hopefully the new laws around microchipping will prevent cats being permanently lost like this poor boy.

This is what the lovely lady who found him says …

Dolce was a bit nervous and frightened when he wandered in through our cat door, but is growing in confidence every day and loving regular meals, strokes and learning to play and trust again. he loves playing with a bouncy tennis ball.

We think he has been homeless for a month or two, either abandoned or lost, he had been hanging around our greenhouses and eventually plucked up the courage to come through the cat door, he was wearing a tatty blue collar and hungry. He enjoys dry food and some wet food, particularly IAMs, we are trying him on other food.

Dolce will make a perfect pet for a couple or family with sensible children who can give him lots of love and attention, he has lots of character and is very affectionate, he is litter trained and doesn’t seem to mind being inside.

Dolce’s finder has tried hard to find his owner but with no success so Dolce is now seeking a forever home. Who couldn’t resist this beautiful boy.

Good Luck Dolce 💚

🌸🌸🌸 Meet Peony 🌸🌸🌸

ADOPTION POST

Having given birth and initially raising her babies on the street, this lovely momma moved into the warmth with Alley Cats & Kittens. Now neutered, she’s ready for her forever home.

Here’s what her amazing Fosterer Susie says about her:

Peony is a funny little character. She started off quite afraid as she'd obviously been stray for a while and had gone through an ordeal with her kittens.

In general she's quite a timid little one but she has really come out of her shell in the month that I've had her. She is a lot more interactive and playful now than when she first arrived. She is such a sweetie 🥰

She loves her little cat bed and prefers to sleep in there rather than on my bed.

She's not quite there yet with being mollycoddled or fussed over too much but she does like gentle light strokes and she has started letting me pick her uo which i could not do whrn she first came. I think she will come more and more out her shell over time. I get lots of purry greetings though and little meows and sometimes some little licks and gentle affectionate bites which are adorable

She's very friendly and purry when it's feeding time! When she hears the crinkle of that pouch then she's your best pal, brushing up on your legs and even standing on her back legs to meet your hand for a head stroke

Peony needs time and to adjust and know she's safe before she'll come out of her shell a little more so a patient and understanding home is what she's looking for.

She's got the cutest tiniest little face which is just adorable so regardless of her timidness she will just make you smile whenever you see her ❤️

•A quiet house will be best for her as she's still a little timid
•Quiet older children will be fine, who can respect her space and not be heavy handed with her
•She must be the only pet
•Outdoor access probably best although shes doing fine indoors in foster.

If you think that you can offer this adorable sweet girl the time she needs then please send us a message and we will arrange to call.

Good luck beautiful momma 💗

Meet Nyxi 💜

This little 8 year old girls life was recently turned upside down when her family surrendered her as they are due to have a baby.

This is what her Fosterer Soph has to say about this poor little girl …

Nyxi can best be described as cute, chatty and calm. She can be shy at first but only after a few days in foster with me she has come out of her shell. Nyxi loves strokes and will politely ask you for some affection. She enjoys playing with dangly toys.

Nyxi is seeking a calm household, either an adult only home or a home with older sensible children. Nyxi is very keen for affection and love but her new family will need to understand that cats can take a little time to feel safe and come out of their shell to accept the love.

Nyxi’s Fosterer has begun some
Gentle introductions with her own cats and early signs are good so we think that Nyxi could live with another calm cat.

This lovely girl deserves a second chance at love. If you’re interested then please
Send us a message and we will arrange to give you a call.

Check out her videos in the comments.

Fingers crossed lovely lady 💜

Meet Jezza 🧡

ADOPTED

This handsome boy is a prime example of the injuries that cats can be exposed to when not neutered. He was picked up as a stray but had definitely had a home before which we found out. Jezza had a huge abscess on his face , he has now been neutered and the abscess lanced and cleaned under anaesthetic. He’s settling in really nicely and seems to be an affectionate boy who is now looking for his new family.

As he is in recovery we aren’t able to test him with cats and dogs. Judging by his affectionate temperament he should be fine with sensible children.
We imagine he will need outside access once settled.

Good luck sweet boy 🧡

We posted last week about Nia who was picked up as a stray with a huge umbilical hernia the size of a tennis ball , if left much longer it could have strangulated which would have been a medical emergency.
Luckily she came into Alley cats and the next day her hernia was repaired and she was neutered and chipped.

She has healed up nicely over the week and is now ready to start looking for her new family to adopt , love and cherish her.

She can live with a family or just adults
She isn’t dog tested fully but on a couple of encounters seeing dogs walk past she has had her hackles up and growled !
Outdoor acsess required
She loves to play and loves her food and treats
She is going to give someone lucky very happy
